Good Things Take Time

The founder of the world-famous brand Nike is Phil Knight. At the start of his journey, he used to sell shoes in his car. Today this company has revenue of over 36 Billion Dollars every year.

This is one of the most successful companies in the world. This is a huge amount of money. We can guess that the journey was incredible.

The owner got the idea of creating a company at a very young age, and as usual, people with big crazy dreams get neglected by society. The same thing happened with Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, and other business tycoons. Good things take time; the journey was not smooth.

Phil ordered the first deal of shoes in Japan. And the set of shoes came after a year! Yes, you heard it right. It took one year to get his first set of shoes for his company.

That means he was waiting for his shoes with patience for one year! Phil Knight knew that good things take time, and patience is one of the qualities of every successful human being on earth.

He has not enough money to go to Japan again and check why he is not getting the delivery of shoes. And there was no email or WhatsApp at that time. It took a year, and then the good thing happened! So, good things take time.
